    another one for me, so that's definitely 15, hurrah hurrah, and still a couple of days to go, can I have a go for another 2 please Spoon, which would take me hopefully to 17, and that is probably a minor miracle, considering my spending excesses in the recent past!!!!

    errr am I supposed to be in a back alley in Leeds or is that another night?

    Been having a wee problem with medication combined with manic phase at work, so starting to become normal again, think I was with you Katenut, poor Oh has been alternatively sympathetic and ready to strangle me!!

    Have a good weekend all, is there football or something on..................

    Sorry if I have caused some com-fuss-eeeum--when do I ever do anything else yel.gif--I reached my first target on Tuesday & said I'd go for another 4, thought I was spending on Weds but didn't :j & went shopping yesterday instead so...17 + 4 - first no on speed dial & carry 2...divided by days ending with Q...*furiously taps calculator*...borrows Offspring's various appendages....*cough*... I'm on No 18 now :p Don't worry about not getting my filly to me in time for Glastonbury; they predict 140,000 there & I'm only 5'2 so I'll popc.gif on the magic box so I know I'll have a good view of Stevie Wonder!

    For you Spoon hb.gif to say Thank You for all you do, & sorry if I've given you a migraine :o

    Must be something in the air too with meds, cuz I'm having "issues" too. It's times like this I'm glad I don't have an OH, but the poor darling Offspring go through the mill. Then again, they usually deserve it :cool:

    Managed another NSD today so I'm up to 11. Next one (last one!) won't be 'til Sun or Mon though.

    Our internet is being a total PITA as well - does the weather affect it? Anyway when I rang V*rginmedia to have a moan they increased us from 10mgs (whatever they are) to 20 mgs for £5 less a month. Probably still paying too much though!

    Have a good weekend and best wishes to people not feeling too good.
    August Shopping Challenge. 26/8. Budget £250 Spent £256.81.. £6.81 over. So £0.00 a day left.

    I'm blaming the summer solstice or ley lines or jupiter in the wrong bloomin place again or maybe just the stupid endless football - feeling totally normal now but the last 10 days have been a write-off!! Hopefully our long-suffering DH's/offspring can breathe a sigh of relief now. Mind you, a cider drinking session in BDINI's alley sounds just the thing right now - when are we descending on Leeds?

    PDD - all my DH keeps saying is 'its not my fault!' - until I snapped at him that I would be writing that on his gravestone!

    Oh, and just before I went off the radar I took DH2 (Darling Horse :)) to our first ever jumping competition and we came fourth - quite simply the scariest thing i have ever ever done!!! Very very very proud of her though, all I do is point her in the right direction and she does the rest :) xx
    Trying to jump back onto the moneysaving wagon .... :cool:
